Hamadan Tribal Rug | 2'5" x 3'3" | c. 1950s–1960s
Details
With its commanding terracotta field and trio of latch-hooked medallions rendered in cerulean, ivory, and navy, this Hamadan tribal rug conjures both bold symmetry and micro-patterned complexity. The stepped geometry and saturated vegetal dyes speak to village mastery, while the mosaic-like filler work creates the illusion of kinetic energy suspended in wool. A tactile delight with luminous abrash and deep contrast.
